Parenchymal tissue in the testes refers to the functional tissue responsible for producing sperm and hormones. This tissue includes seminiferous tubules where spermatozoa are produced and Leydig cells that produce testosterone. Injury or disease to the parenchymal tissue can impact male fertility and hormone production.
cysts of tissue
Bilateral means on both sides, pulmonary means related to the lungs, and parenchymal means in the main tissue of the organ. Bilateral pulmonary parenchymal is a partial phrase meaning that whatever finding there was on the image was seen in the main part of the lung tissue on both the right and left.
The tissue that produces sperm cells is called the seminiferous tubules, which are found within the testes. Sperm cells are produced through the process of spermatogenesis within these tubules.
tissue typing
Parenchymal echogenicity refers to the degree of brightness or echogenicity of the normal tissue in an organ, such as the liver or kidney, as seen on an ultrasound. Changes in parenchymal echogenicity can indicate the presence of certain diseases or conditions affecting the organ.

Homogeneous parenchymal echotexture refers to an ultrasound finding where the tissue being examined (such as the liver or kidney) appears uniform in texture throughout, without any areas of abnormality or variation in echogenicity. This can suggest normal tissue architecture and lack of pathology in the organ.
A parenchymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the parenchyma, which is the functional tissue of an organ. These cysts can occur in various organs throughout the body and are typically benign unless they cause symptoms or complications. Treatment may be necessary if the cyst grows in size or causes issues.
Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).
Liver tissue is made up of two types of cells: karat parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. The karat parenchymal cells are known as hepatocytes. There are several types of non-parenchymal cells: Sinusoidal hepatic endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells. The liver has a number of functions, including synthesizing hormones and breaking down substances for metabolization by the body's various systems.
